In the Season 18 finale of 'The Bachelorette', we see Michelle Young take Nayte Olukoya to visit her parents. 

All's is well until Michelle's mother has a heart-to-heart conversation with her saying she straight up doesn't think Nayte is the man Michelle is looking for. Her mother noticed that Nayte doesn't share his feelings up front, and she also thinks Michelle can do so much better.

While some tweets are dissing Nayte, lot of fans are in immense support of Nayte and his actions, thereby thinking he is the one for Michelle.

One fan said, "Maybe he’s just nervous because he has never talked about emotions especially in front of tons of cameras?? #TheBachelorette", while another tweeted, "I honestly think Nayte just struggles to express himself… Brandon wears his heart on his sleeve while Nayte doesn’t. That’s why Michelle’s mum isn’t “feeling” him lol #TheBachelorette".

One fan shared, "MAYBE Nayte's freaking TF out and getting tripped up becaues Michelle's parents are shitting all over him? #TheBachelorette #TheBacheloretteABC".
